Aquamole Pot

Aquamole Pot Saturday, 3 March 2007 The old gits rose again from their comfy chairs to go caving. The trip started in it's normal fashion, Tim beating down the door of Inglesport, as it opened, wanting to buy shiny gear before a large breakfast. Rob, Ann and Richard turned up shortly...

Iles Inlet Extensions and Corkscrew Chamber in Agen Allwedd

Iles Inlet Extensions and Corkscrew Chamber in Agen Allwedd Saturday, 24 February 2007 What was to have been an easy weekend's caving, taking my niece and brother-in-law caving for the first time, turned into a bit more of an epic when my family couldn't make the weekend. We were staying at...

Arrived at the entrance to Hunt Pot to find a rather impressive stream sinking down the classic main shaft....

Dale Head Pot

Dale Head Pot Thursday, 4 January 2007 This wasn't a caving trip as such but still merits a rant. If you have read Northern Caves you'll know that Dale Head is block, if you have read Not for the Faint Hearted you'll know Dale Head is open, but it's not until...
